Yes, you can use the new SPoD-enabled versions of Natural products (Natural 5.1.1 for Windows, Natural 3.1.5 for Mainframes, Predict for Mainframes 4.2.1, etc.) in the conventional, platform-specific way. So you can profit from changes/enhancements made to these versions. You can decide to change over to the Natural SPoD scenario at a later point of time. All you need to do is to install the remote development server plug-in (NDV) for the target platform and the desired plug-in(s) for Natural Studio, for example the XRef GUI Client. There will be certain features in Natural Studio (for example, the application view) which you do not need in a single platform Natural development environment. In case of doubt, read the help texts. SPoD-specific functionality will be marked accordingly.
